Good Day, Daniel
The will of the Father for Jesus was/is:
John 6 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day
He always does the will of the Father with out fail... checkmate, game over.
In Him,
Bill
What is the definition of the Greek word thélēma (G2307)?
1) what one wishes or has determined shall be done a) of the purpose of God to bless mankind through Christ b) of what God wishes to be done by us
1) commands, precepts
2) will, choice, inclination, desire, pleasure
The same word is also used in 1 Timothy 2:4 except in the verb form instead of the noun form (thélō G2309)
“who
desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
1 Timothy 2:4 NASB
Has God decreed that all men will be saved and come to the knowledge of truth? No but it is His desire that they would. The same could also be said about God’s will or desire that Jesus should lose none.
As for John 6:37 are you aware that the Greek word érchomai (G2064) that is translated to comes or cometh is ONLY used in the present and imperfect tense?

So verse 37 is saying all that The Father give Him will come to Him and the one that presently and continuously comes to Him, He will not cast out. Now what did Jesus say about those who do not abide in Him in John 15:6?
“If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown (cast) away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.”
John 15:6 NASB
Now those who do not abide in Christ are not presently and continuously coming to Him are they? Hence they are cast away to wither and cast into the fire to be burned.
